The Politics of Compassion

My attempt in 1980 to explore the politics of humanitarian and development aid with Christian Aid as my case study. It was a 90-minute special shown on BBC2. My thinking was very much formed by New Internationalist and this led to a major collaboration two years later with Global Report. Part 1 Part 2

Meditation

A programme for late night BBC2 in 1972 continuing an experiment started on Radio 4. Fr. Simon Tugwell led an extempore meditation in a darkened BBC studio, with the invitation to people at home to take part if they wished. More than 2 million people watched the programme. The producer was Peter Armstrong.
